We know the guests of The White Lotus don’t shy away from splashing the cash and a Motion Picture Association study has now revealed inward investment on the HBO show’s second season in Italy neared $40M.
A cool €32M ($35.8M) was made on direct production costs, delegates at the Audio-Visual Producers Summit in Trieste, Italy heard this morning. Of that, 75% (about $26.7M) went on local goods and services, with the other 25% ($8.9M) spent on wages and salaries. In total, about 1,500 full or part-time jobs were created through HBO’s investment.
The MPA said that if indirect costs are included, the figure rises to €38M ($42.2M) and 1,900 full or part-time jobs.
The figures were laid out by MPA President and Managing Director for Emea Stan McCoy during a panel titled ‘The Value of Producing in Italy,’ which outlined how and why major U.S. networks and studios were looking...

The new head of the Afci has big goals for the organization, and looks to promote stability within the leadership, which has seen a few presidents come and go in the past handful of years.
“I really want to reassure people that I’m in this for the long haul and I feel like I have the right skill set to take the organization through and develop a really good strategy for it for the next 10 years,” says Jaclyn Philpott, the recently installed Afci exec director. “I’ll be ready and willing to answer any questions that they may have. You know, I’ve had a very good look under the hood at the organization, from the financials through the previous strategies to what’s happening in the market right now, and I feel like I have a good idea of what they want based on what they’ve told...

Jaclyn Philpott has been named the first executive director of the Association of Film Commissioners International, a global network of film commission members better known as Afci.
Philpott will take helm of the organization in the newly-created role on Jan. 3. She succeeds Eve Honthaner, who was named Afci president in August 2021 but stepped down in September for personal reasons.
In the role, Philpott will prioritize growing membership — currently the most geographically and culturally diverse roster in the organization’s 50 year history. Another key focus will be helping film commissions work with governments to recognize the film industry’s impact on regional economic and cultural development, job creation and tourism.
Other goals include expanding education and diversity awareness to empower members to create programs in their regions.

Imagine a new big screen version of the infamous Boston Strangler case, filmed in . . . Cleveland. Or an organized crime thriller based in America’s top fishing port, New Bedford, Mass., shot on location in . . . Halifax.
Both of these scenarios nearly happened. But thanks to passionate filmmakers and state tax credits, moviegoers will get to see a serial killer and more “Coda”-style fishermen in their natural habitat: Massachusetts.
Not since the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock have so many impactful visitors descended on the state. In addition to 20th Century’s “Boston Strangler” and Paramount+’s 28 million thriller “Finestkind,” two Marvel blockbusters (Disney’s “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” and Sony’s Spider-Man spinoff “Madame Web”), director-star Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic “Maestro,” the Zendaya-toplined tennis drama “Challengers,” the Whitney Houston biopic “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” and more are being made there.

From the din of vehicle crashes and the crack of automatic weapons fire heard around Prague’s Old Town of late, you’d hardly think — once you realize these are blanks and epic film stunts — the city has seen a Covid slowdown in location filming at all.
True, case numbers are impressively low in the Czech Republic this summer, but well before Netflix’s “The Gray Man” rolled in for a 91-day shoot using street locations all over the city, business was brisk.
Prague/L.A.-based production house Stillking alone has what’s on track to match or surpass 2019, its biggest year ever. Recent credits include Marvel Studios/Disney Plus actioner “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” HBO political intrigue “Oslo,” Lionsgate Holocaust drama “The White Bird,” Season 2 of Legendary Television/Amazon fantasy detective series “Carnival Row” and TBS historical comedy show “Miracle Workers.”

At Screen Forever on Wednesday, producers with knowledge of what it takes to win over international audiences came together for a session entitled ‘How Producers can Compete in a Global Screen Ecosystem’.
The discussion began with a presentation from HBO senior vice president of productions and incentives Jay Roewe, who said viewers were increasingly craving content that was craving content that “culturally familiar and relatable”, while noting Australia was a “sought-after destination for productions from all around the world”.

Film and TV production will be allowed to resume in California as early as June 12, according to guidelines issued by the state Friday. Like rules for other industries, the Ok for work to resume will be given on a county-by-county basis using benchmarks like Covid-19 infection rate. The guidelines give great leeway for the industry to come together to decide on its own specific rules.
The move comes after a false start last month, when the Gov. Gavin Newsom on May 20 announced that he planned to issue the guidelines a few days later. That timeline caught entertainment leaders off guard; many were hard at work as part of industry-wide joint task force to develop its own set of rules, ones written specifically for Newsom and New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to help inform their state regulations.

Hollywood is waiting and ready (as much as it can be) to get back to work nearly three months after industry-wide production was halted by the coronavirus pandemic. Despite the industry’s Covid-19 Task Force coming together on a set of guidelines, there still remains a lot of uncertainty. That was among the main takeaways during a webinar featuring a group of physical production executives on Wednesday, hosted by Entertainment Partners. Everyone agreed Hollywood is facing an unprecedented situation that will require a larger level of collaboration than ever before — and an incredible amount of flexibility. “There isn’t any one moment where there’s going to be a flip of a switch, and we’re back in production,” said Jay Roewe, senior vice president of west coast production at HBO. “Every single show has its own unique aspects to it. Every show is in different places.” Also Read: Cinematographers...

The future is in knowing how to pitch and make the right product at the right time and place, said Jay Roewe, HBO’s Svp West Coast production. “Computer programmers that understand the film biz — that’s the kind of people I want to work with because I know I’m going to adapt to the future in a very big way,” Roewe said.
